What is a Jack?

Simply speaking, a jack---any type of jack---is a mechanical device that may be used to lift heavy loads or to apply a large amount of force. Jacks use a screw thread or alternatively, a hydraulic cylinder to apply extremely high linear forces.

Hydraulic Jacks vs Bottle Jacks

Hydraulic jacks use an incompressible fluid (oil) that is forced into a cylinder by a pump plunger. The jack works by oil pressure built up in the cylinder of the jack. Bottle jacks use a vertical piston which directly supports a bearing pad that contacts whatever you are lifting.

Regardless of which of the types of jacks you need, Get Tools Direct has high quality models from world famous brands such as Roval available at rock bottom prices! You can shop online at your convenience 24/7 and get fast delivery to your door.
